Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the exploration, planets, open world, and universe size in No Man’s Sky, frequently citing the vastness and enjoyment of exploring the game's many planets and universe. However, many find the gameplay repetitive and lacking in content, with some also criticizing the game's story and value for the price. The sheer scale of the game's universe is a major draw for many players, but this is often offset by concerns about repetitive gameplay mechanics.

    Great Game for Explorers

    This game has a lot to explore and see. It does start to feel a little weak if that's not all you want in a game, but looking at it for what it is, it's a great game.

    I can't believe that a game set in the future would not have let the player mark and return to specific places on a planet easily. You need to walk everywhere and getting back to a previous location is difficult.

    So I love this game. I stayed informed to what the Devs were saying about the game, so I wasn't disappointed at all in how it turned out. Don't buy this game if you think you can gallivant across the universe with your friends. It is very much a chill single player game.

    The game fails to meet expectations. It is a non stop repatriation of find the same aliens over and over and over and over and over. More like walking in circles.

    Not what you want this to be. Not what was promised - which was very lofty. Oversold what became a mediocre result.

    My daughter year old was struggling with this for awhile trying to figure out how to start. After some help from Dad we got rolling.. Not a high action game but an interesting complement to our collection. slow discovery but not too deep. Its good but not great.

    I didn't have high hopes but still found it lackluster soon. its more of a hobby than a game if you are looking for something to kill endless amounts of time.

    It's a great premise for a game but there is a lot of untapped potential. It's a great way to kill some time if you want something mindless for a while though! Plenty of planets, though a lot are similar.

    If you're into enormous open worlds where you're forced to venture for hours for supplies to accomplish a simple task, go for it. Otherwise, save your money

    This game wasn't for me. The first couple hours were semi-exciting, but as all reviews state it gets repetitive quick. Do proper research before purchasing.

    So this game was supposed to be much better than it is. I give it three stars because of the gameplay, but the procedural creation system is not random enough to make this look unique because it isn't.

    Good open universe exploration game, but you will find yourself doing the same thing over and over again. The planets are all the same and the wildlife too.

    Fascinating sandbox, little direction.

    This is one of the most fascinating sandbox of a game, filled with visual wonders and deep worlds. What it lacks is a coherent tutorial to tell you basic aspects of navigating the interface and game.

    This game is a very long game with a lot of exploring. It can take a long time to do just a few things. I enjoy it because it is a slow paced game.

    Interesting game that touches on science to make your gaming experience fun and interesting. Controls aren't 100% explained right away, but simple enough to figure out. I personally enjoy playing this game and the idea of discovering new things for myself.

    The game has great graphics but after about 20 mins of play it gets real redundant. There's really no purpose to the game and no online multiplayer mode.

    I know many people throw hate at this game, but they are STILL developing.. so if you get it cheap it wont bother. If you are in the mood of playing exploration games this is your game!

    Very fun game for the first 10 or so hours. Once youve explored 5 or so planets and realize how little there is to actually do, the novelty wears off.

    No mans sky is a good game but lacked personality. Computer generated seems nice when its just a thought but when you are actually playing it it feels very sterile. It lacks depth and direction.

    I snagged the very last copy on release day, only to be slightly let down by the game, my own fault for falling into hype and setting the bar too high, overall fun game worth buying a used copy!
